How is this not a torture method? Do neurotypicals think this is fun? I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.

To the people worried about their data being sent to google or whatever (I'm not sure what they're actually worried about) -- the extraction of your eyes is done client side, using a seemingly very well made ML model running on Tensorflow which fits in under 15mb.

The feed of your camera is transmitted "directly" to the person you're looking at (well, no, not really directly, it uses WebRTC, so your data passes through Neal's TURN server, but do you really think Neal wants to take care of properly storing your data and handing it off to advertisers?)

You all are comfortable just enabling your camera for some random site so it can capture your face?

Why do you care? You likely give your entire life story to Google? What do you think he’s going to do with your face data?

Another hit from Neal. I wonder (and envy, in a good way) where does he gets the time to work and all this wonderful little games.

Same. Not just the time, where does he gets the ideas for these games.

Plus, his implementation in a few of them is really exhaustive and polished. Are there any "interns" helping him?

It's not working for me at all, did it get hugged to death?

I just see a black screen with "Eyes from $LOCATION" under it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why worry? It only captures the eyes.

It has to capture everything first to figure out where the eyes are...

One could wear a paper mask/visor to only show the eyes. (Though the eye extraction feature might malfunction then?)
